My Project

The project was fairly simple to construct.  The materials required were:

 - 5    10Ω 10W resistors
 - 5    #47 light bulbs 6.3V 0.15A
 - 5    bayonette lamp sockets
 - 22  sockets
 - 10  jumper wires with banana plugs
 - 4-cell battery pack
 - 4    AA batteries 
 - Plexi-glass sheet
 - Flat head screws, wood, glue (for the frame)

Hole were drilled into the plexi-glass sheet and the sockets, resistors, lamp sockets, and battery pack were attached.  The resistors, lamp sockets, and battery pack were all soldered to the sockets.  A frame was made out of wood to prevent the plexi-glass from flexing, and was attached to the plexi-glass sheet using flat-head screws (flat-head to prevent the plexi-glass from splitting).  The base of the project was kept open to facilitate easy replacement of components that may break in the future.
